This week, we take another look at an incredible tennis travel experience for junior players - Tennis:Europe . Martin Vinokur is a former high school teacher and tennis coach who is in Year 52 of taking junior tennis players to Europe to train and compete. Mike LeVan is a former college player and has been a coach for Tennis:Europe 7 times. Mike is also now working behind the scenes with Martin to ensure program participants have the best possible experience. Tennis:Europe is different from other tennis/travel programs in that its goal is for players to get as much tournament play as possible while traveling as a co-ed team. They offer several different trips between June and July, and you can find details on the 2026 offerings at https://www.tenniseurope.com/our-trips . Each team is accompanied by a minimum of 2 coaches - one male and one female - who travel with the players from JFK Airport in New York and see them safely through their journey. In this episode, you'll hear what a typical day may entail, what is required to attend, and what the expectations are for all travelers. If you are interested in having your child join a Tennis:Europe trip this coming summer, be sure to take a look at their website at https://www.tenniseurope.com/ then schedule an information-gathering call with Martin by emailing him at info@tenniseurope.com or calling him at 203-322-9803. You can also follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tenniseurope/ . As always, I am available for one-to-one consults to work with you as you find your way through junior tennis and the college recruiting process. You can purchase and book online through our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://parentingaces.com/shop/category/cons…","meta_description":"Welcome to Season 15 Episode 2 of the ParentingAces Podcast!
